Bring on the Seahawks!The starting players will only be in for a series or two. But bring on the Seahawks!The Broncos' four-game preseason schedule has been announced, and it starts with — gulp! — a rematch of Super Bowl XLVIII.

Where are all the "revenge" game comments? At least the people on these boards recognize that it's the first preseason game and the starters might play 2 series...on the 9news board the fans are screaming about how it's a revenge game and disparaging Seattle...

The ONLY revenge game that could ever take place would have to be played in Arizona next February.

Otherwise, its just not.

The Broncos hung 49 points on the Ravens last season, what did that get any of us or the actual players but another regular season W.

No real satisfaction looking back at it now.

Nothing but a victory in the Super Bowl matters where this team and its fans should be concerned.

Anybody who thinks a victory of any other sort matters, especially in the pre season, is an person!

The only reason a regular season W matters is to get enough to make it to the playoff's.

They'll have to play Seattle in the regular season too. I don't care if the Broncos lose that one either.

As long as, if they make it to Arizona, the Broncos win!

Just funny reading these people's post. The starters will play 2 series tops..then it will be watching the 2nd Coming work his sidearm magic against Seattle's 2nd and 3rd team..

It's as I put on the 9 news board..any of them that just have to see this "revenge" game..I'll be happy to sell them my ticket for $120

Repeat after me....The much maligned defense did not lose the Super Bowl...The blame goes to the Coaching staff and the High Flying Offense led by #18...

People make revenge comments about the first pre-season game? That's kinda weird.

The Seahawks are in the Broncos heads. Someday Denver is going to need to stand up and kick their butts.

I realize this is preseason and the games don't matter but this one does in my opinion. It's all about stepping up to bat. Last year the Seahawks pushed the Broncos all over the field twice but that preseason stuff doesn't matter bla bla bla.

Spin it however you want but this game means a lot to the Broncos and their common tie of team confidence from top to bottom. They owe it to the fans to give it all their efforts. It's going to set the tone for the season I think.

I'd play Manning and the first team the whole first half and see if they could hang 28 at home. Heck I'd be happy if they win 3-0. I just want to see them come out swinging and don't stop.This will be the best practice or scrimmage they will have all preseason. I'd treat it pretty seriously. If they can't, well right there you know its going to take a lot more work.

IMHO if they did that it would show the Broncos have no confidence in their ability to play with the big boys. What would it prove if the starters could hang 28 on Seattle's 2nd and 3rd string.

I do agree they owe it to the fans...or don't charge them full price for a preseason game

Sorry Ken thanks for pointing that out. I should have specified that Seattle would play their starters as well. A gentleman's coaching agreement of sorts if you will.

It's time for BO to show he's been learning thru osmosis

Last year you get the Ravens in season's opening game and this year you get Seattle in preseason's game one...Would I like to see the Philadelphia Eagles go to the Super Bowl?? you bet....Chip Kelly has his player (about 3 of them for WR) set to draft. If you think a young team played for Pete Carroll, wait and see what Chip Kelly could achieve in Philly. This will be another great NFL season.

Then again...which one of the DP writers said that last years preseason match up should have been more concerning? They all want to win them all. I agree. Get the players on the field that need the work. Have them prepared so them can learn the ropes. It don't matter until it matters.
